Why did Donald Trump pull out of the upcoming 60 Minutes election interview?
So it looks like Donald Trump is storming out of yet another 60 minutes interview, just like he did in 2020. Now, this time I guess is metaphorically speaking, but here is the breaking news: Donald Trump has pulled out of his upcoming interview on the 60 minutes election special, meaning that Vice President Kamala Harris will now be the only candidate participating. That's right, folks, Donald Trump is running. Scared. Here is the programming note from 60 Minutes. They say, quote, 60 Minutes is scheduled to air a primetime election special on a Monday edition of the broadcast on October 7th at 8 p.m. For over a half a century, 60 Minutes has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls.
This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agree to sit down with 60 Minutes. Vice President Harris will speak with With correspondent Bill Whitaker, after initially accepting 60 Minutes' request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump's campaign, has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening. Our election special will broadcast the Harris interview on Monday as planned. Our original invitation to Trump to be interviewed on 60 Minutes still stands. Donald Trump throwing away a 50 Year plus tradition for the candidates after originally accepting. As some people write on Twitter, like Nadine Nadine Babu, half a century tradition gone. Trump is so, so scared.
Roland Martin notes: Sokamala Harris has agreed to a 60 minutes interview, but weak, scared, and impotent, Donald Trump pulls out. What a weasel! Angry staffer writes: Donald Trump is scared to. Do a 60 minutes interview, scared to debate Kamala Harris again, too afraid to be president. As a reminder, Trump accepted the 60 minutes interview first, and it seems like his campaign decided to pull out at the last minute here. I think Donald Trump's campaign is terrified of a repeat of what happened in 2020. Do you all remember when Donald Trump stormed out of his interview with Leslie? Because he was asked the simplest of questions. Remember this? We were scheduled to take a walk with the president around the White House grounds.
I've got a lot of questions I didn't ask. And by the way, Trump's then press secretary, Kaylee McAdenney, who, by the way, now Donald Trump demeans and calls milk toast and a bunch of other nasty nicknames, Kaylee McAdeny had given Leslie Stahl this really large book filled with papers saying it was Trump's healthcare plan, but there was a no healthcare plan to be found in the book. And by the way, here we are years later, and Donald Trump still has no. Plan, not even a quote concept of a plan. I mean, that interview with 60 Minutes back then was a complete train wreck. And I think as we watch some of those clips, we could see why Donald Trump's handlers did not want him to go back on. I mean, he was asked really simple questions, like he was asked about going out on the campaign trail and demanding that his political opponents be locked up.
We all know the Donald Trump phrase, lock her up. Donald Trump during this interview denied that he said it. Watch.
You don't want to lock up governors with one of the government. When did I say lock her up? I never said. Wait a minute. When did I say locker up? You gotta get your governor to open up your state, okay? Lock them all up. When did I say lock up the governor? I didn't say lock up the governor. Lock them all up. Why would I lock them up? No, why did you say you don't want to lock up the governor? Lock 'em all up. Why would I lock around?
Because you were in front of a row with people saying it, encouraging it.
I never said it, listen. Lock them all up. Bless me. It's such a vicious thing you just said. I never said lock up the governor of Michigan. I would never say that. Why would I say that? Lock them all up.
So we had put together that video back in 2020 here at Mightest Touch. And we also made this video showing another moment from the interview with 60 Minutes where Donald Trump was asked about his pleas to suburban women that he still makes to this day, also, where he goes, Suburban woman, will you please love me?
